Celebrity Autobiography Ends Broadway Run Early Amid Sluggish Box Office

Celebrity Autobiography, a Broadway revue where stars read others’ memoirs, will close at the Shubert Theatre on June 21—about two months earlier than expected—after a May 16 opening. The run includes 3 previews and 40 regular performances, with weekly grosses peaking around $74,400 and attendance near 3,300 (roughly 37% of capacity) at an average ticket price of $22.56, indicating weak demand. Critics largely gave poor or no reviews, and audiences said the material felt recycled from prior stagings without fresh Broadway relevance. The producers have not announced a recoupment or future plans beyond promising to share them soon.
